Right to bring this topic back into life I'm going to name my XV and subs for the summer tests.
1.) Ryan Grant (wouldn't be my first choice but to be fair on him has been playing well for Glasgow)
2.) Ross Ford (His experience will help Scotland, and his throwing in has been better since Scotland under Scott Johnston)
3.) Geoff Cross (Euan Murray retirement will surely mean Geoff own's Scotland's number 3 jersey)
4.) Richie Gray (him and his brother actually works and to me makes Scotland look better in defence)
5.) Jonny Gray (Really good player, very strong in defence as-well as a good leader on the pitch)
6.) Rob Harley (Also a strong player in defence)
7.) John Barclay (Please make it happen Vern, don't listen to Scott Johnston your in charge)
8.) Adam Ashe (With the number off injury's Denton is getting i think Ashe has token over, Really impressed me)
9.) Greig Laidlaw (Watched him against Connacht and he looks alot better, Passing is quicker and even sniping round ruck and makes good decisions, if he play's like that in the summer then Scotland could be really dangerous)
10.) Finn Russell (definitely better than Weir, Had a really good game against Ulster, and scored 2 brilliant tries aswell nailing a big conversion for the side-line which secured a place in the pro 12 final)
11.) Tim Visser (a better defender now, and is playing really well for Edinburgh, looking forward to seeing what he can do for Harlequins)
12.) Peter Horne (would try him again for Scotland, he is a really good play-maker though he was unlucky against Italy when he played 10, but form for Glasgow deserve's a second chance for Scotland)
13.) Richie Vernon (him moving to centre is not a bad call though he was good and with injury problems at the centre's atm, he will most likely play 13 for Scotland)
14.) Tommy Seymour (Been good for Glasgow, think Maitland misses out due to injury)
15.) Stuart Hogg (no question there is simply no better fullback in Scotland who is better than Hoggie)
16.) Fraser Brown (good player, think he is a good replacement for Ford if necessary)
17.) Gordon Reid (would play him over Grant but with Grant's form atm Reid is on the bench)
18.) WP Nel (apparently can qualify to play for Scotland now, Is a good player and wouldn't mind seeing him in a Scotland jersey)
19.) Ben Toolis (deserves a second chance, been playing well for Edinburgh)
20.) Hamish Watson (Again, deserves a second chance, will be Scotland stand out player in the future)
21.) Sam Hidalgo-Clyne (had a great season, would love to see him start one game but Laidlaw is doing a fine job at Gloucester)
22.) Duncan Weir (Seems to make his presence known when coming on, Not a bad player but not better than Russell atm)
23.) Dougie Fife (not playing badly but wouldn't start him)
